Our project links in to the priority "Making Coastal Communities more attractive places to live and work" by providing creative opportunities for local people to come together to learn new skills and contribute to community produced woven art works as well as providing paid work for a local artist to run the sessions

This upgrade will enhance Dundonald Castle's Visitor Centre and Community Hub, improving facilities for 30,000+ annual visitors and creating a better environment for our community, team, locals and tourists.

Our 4WD vehicle is vital to our ability to maintain the Ayrshire Coastal Path. The vehicle is used to transport materials such as sleepers, gate posts, stiles, new marker posts to where they are needed on the path. Safe access to this stunning coastal path through continued maintenance benefits the local coastal communities in SA through walking, recreation and nature connection opportunities, as well as being a huge driver for outdoor tourism in the area benefitting many local businesses.

Harbour Ayrshire will deliver trauma-informed recovery and wellbeing support across rural coastal communities, reducing isolation, improving mental health, and increasing community participation for vulnerable adults and families.

Spaces and places; Live, work and learn. This will enhance the charity shop, which helps generate vital income for Ayrshire Cancer Support, while enhancing the shopping and working experience for customers, staff and volunteers.

Our aim is to make a lasting difference to the town’s cultural landscape by re-vitalising the entrances to the theatre by not only ensuring the accessibility, safety and environmental aspects by improving the lighting but cementing the theatre being memorable and welcoming to the community, patrons and tourists alike.
